GM’s Latest Recall

The recent recall covers almost 2.5 million vehicles for a variety of problems. Below are the major recalls announced on May 20, 2014:

1.34 million Buick Enclaves, Chevrolet Traverses, GMC Acadias, and Saturn Outlooks: These vehicles are being recalled because the front safety lap belt cables may wear out over time, increasing the risk of injury in an accident. The model years are for 2009-2014, but for the Saturn Outlook the recall covers model years 2009-2010.

1.08 million Chevrolet Malibus (2004-2008) and Pontiac G6s (2005-2008): These vehicles experience problems with the shift cables increasing the risk of an accident.

1,402 Cadillac Escalades and Escalade ESVs: The airbags in these vehicles can become attached to the instrument panel resulting in partial deployment during an accident, increasing the risk of injury. GM has stopped sale of these vehicles.

58 2015 Chevrolet Silverados HD and GMC Sierras: These cars are at an increased risk for a fire hazard.
